Dear Mr. Sokolov
I am writing to apply for the position of Social Worker with your company. I saw your advertisement in the Komsomolskaya Pravda and I would like to be considered for the job.
I believe I am suitable for this post as I already have experience working with young people. I worked at a summer camp in the United States last summer and greatly enjoyed supervising a group of six children. I was responsible for their behaviour and welfare, and my duties also included taking care of basic first aid. I found the job very interesting and rewarding. I feel that my experience would be an asset as a social worker.
In addition, I am hard-working and responsible. I passed my secondary education Certificate with a distinction, and have recently entered Social Work Department in MSTU (Murmansk, Russia), so you can see that I have skills needed for this job. I also have a working knowledge of English and a clean driving license and have always been interested in dealing with people who need support and care.
I would like to work for your organization as it would give me an opportunity to develop my social work skills further, and I am sure that it will be very enjoyable and rewarding to provide social service for those who really need it.
I am enclosing a copy of my CV with this letter. I would be available for an interview here in Murmansk at any time convenient to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Ivan Orlov
